We're back! After an extended hiatus (certainly not due to our slow editing abilities), Toby and Jit recap and celebrate the 2026 Major League Cricket season.

The LA Knight Riders are your new MLC champions, the Freedom have their hearts broken for the second year in a row, and the United States domestic players come into their own. Plus, scoring rates, new stadiums, and wickets in the middle overs!

Thanks for listening and be sure to give us a review!

We dive deep into the thrilling Dallas leg of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 season. This episode focuses on the mid to latter stages of the tournament, focusing on the second leg at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

7 action-packed matches, covering everything from dominant performances to surprising collapses.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

- the unbeaten San Francisco Unicorns and their continued dominance at the top of the table

- the Washington Freedom's record-breaking run chase of 223 (the highest ever in Major League Cricket)

- Faf du Plessis's wonderful century that ultimately went in vain against the Unicorns

- the struggles of Mumbai Indians New York, despite strong batting performances from players like Quinton de Kock and Monank Patel

- a look at the bottom-of-the-table teams, the LA Knight Riders and Seattle Orcas, and their challenges with net run rate.

We get into T20 cricket strategies, including the debate around anchoring an innings in T20s and the league-wide issue of poor fielding and dropped catches—a reminder that "catches win matches".

Join Jit and Toby as they break down all the action, celebrate the rising stars, and discuss the growing product of domestic American cricket. Don't miss out!
